Wow..really wishing to jump on over to Manali..But we just had finished the Kalpa-Kinnaur tour couple of weeks back..Yet, the memories of Manali tour right during the core of winter with snow covers everywhere is still fresh in my mind..and your post reminds me of the proud experience I had with my family during the winter of 2014..
